Hello Governor,
Can you please take health clubs, off your list of businesses that are required to
close during COVID. While I strongly appreciate your activity in tempering or ceasing several commercial businesses, health clubs should be given particular attention to opening for two reasons: 1) there are people in need of physical therapy and who have physical conditions which require them to exercise to maintain their physical health. Likewise better health is important for all people during COVID.
2) It's sitting in one place, especially indoors, that gets someone infected with
COVID. Work, commercial parties, restaurants, barber shops, nail salons, public
transportation. Unless you "catch cold." Even at the gym, you MOVE AROUND while
in it, compared to sitting at one place in a restaurant, at work, or at a party,
breathing the virus in and out, in and out, in and out, in and out.
Moving around is safer social distancing, and people don't go to the gym when they're feeling tired. So either maintaining gyms open, or enacting extra safety
measure for them, is a better plan. Inspecting gyms for fresh air and ventilation
systems is a good idea. People need fresh air when exercising anyway.
